 * Hi there,
 * I am using this `<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?
   >` piece of code to display comments in my own theme. However, I can’t seem to
   find the file that contains the default strings that it outputs. For example,
   above the comment form, it says something like: Tell us what you think here and
   now! Or something along those lines (I use a localized version). I’d like to 
   change that, but i can’t find it.
 * Where are these default texts? Thank you very much in advance!

 * Try looking in your theme’s comments.php file.

 * I actually found it in my localizational files (*.po). I wonder how I missed 
   that the first time I checked it… Anyhow, thanks for your help!
